Glorious News from Northwestern Virginia. --The accounts from Northwestern Virginia are highly satisfactory. Reliable information from Lewis county is to the effect that the people in all that region are aroused and united as one man in the cause of their own country. They have raised the flag of old Virginia upon every hill-top, and are prepared to fight under it.-- "Till the last armed foe expires."

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the women of the Southwest. Southwestern Virginia, May 4, 1861. We have felt surprised that the sentiment expressed by a lady in Southwestern Virginia, "that she had rather be the widow of a brave man than the wife of a coward," should have created so much sensation. We had hoped that Virginians at least knew us well enough to know that that was the sentiment of every true woman among us. Our husbands are brave men, and will spill every drop ove created so much sensation. We had hoped that Virginians at least knew us well enough to know that that was the sentiment of every true woman among us. Our husbands are brave men, and will spill every drop of blood in their veins before they will be subjugated; and if our men are all killed, the women and children will take their places. We cannot be conquered by Lincoln and his vile rabble — we will die first. These are the sentiments of the wives and mothers of Southwestern Virginia.

age to the enemy and injury to us, Maryland belongs to the North. She will not fight against us; she will not furnish her regiments to obey the behests of Lincoln; but these are not wanted by the well-provided foe. It is the ground, the territory of Maryland, that he needs; and of that he is master. Success has given him confidence; and he turns now to Virginia.

Prepared at every point, and provided with every necessary, he can at any moment precipitate himself upon Virginia, at as many points as his objects may require. Will he attack Vir

ent that foreigners and naturalized citizens who, but a few years ago, were denounced by the North and deprived of essential rights, have now been induced to enlist into regiments for the purpose of invading this State, which then vindicated those rights and effectually resisted encroachments which threatened their destruction. Against such a policy and against a force which the Government at Washington, relying upon its numerical strength, is now rapidly concentrating, it becomes the State of Virginia to prepare proper safeguards. To this end and for these purposes, and with a determination to repel invasion, I, John Letcher, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, by authority of the Convention, do hereby authorize the Commanding General of the military forces of this State, to call out, and to cause to be mustered into the service of Virginia, from time to time, as the public exigencies may require, such additional number of volunteers as he may deem necessary.
